WINS HONOR FOR SECOND TIME ATSPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL AWARDS

NEW YORK – Thursday, May 21 – Leading brand experience agency Momentum Worldwide was named “Best in Sports Event and Experiential Marketing” at the SportsBusiness Journal awards at a ceremony last night in New York. This is the second time Momentum has won this award, having previously won in 2013.

When citing reasons for this win, SportsBusiness Journal highlighted Momentum’s client list that includes some of the world’s most recognizable brands and sports properties, including American Express, Coca-Cola, MLS and the NCAA; Momentum’s creative use of technology across RFID, motion simulation, augmented reality and more; and Momentum’s skill in reinventing experiences for clients, demonstrated by work with American Express at the U.S. Open tennis tournament, and for UPS around college sports.

Momentum Chairman/CEO Chris Weil was on hand to personally accept the award saying, “This honor is another proud moment for Momentum. As the industry leader in providing total brand experiences for some of the best brands and clients in the world, being named Best in Events and Experiential for the second time, is testament to the dynamic work all of our North American offices are creating on a daily basis. This isn’t an award for one campaign—it’s an award for hundreds of campaigns created across the country, across a huge variety of properties, and every single one of our employees had a hand in earning this award. We’ve won this now two times in the last three years, and I’m excited to see us follow up this performance with more great work for our clients.”
